Legolas, in my previous posts I stated that the going rate for the SL in the Bay Area in the last month appears to be about $3600 to $3700 a year based on people who have gotten 2 and 3 year leases in Sunnyvale. Computation is based on down plus total of payments plus Dispo fee. Your offer is right in line. I personally would try to get closer to $3500 a year and definitely would not want to put $4000 down in case the car is totaled in an accident.

I can't see much urgency in taking this "deal". Also, you should be able to land an SV with QC for at minimum $1000 less if $ is an issue.

Just my opinion. Good Luck!

Thanks Corina. I have been asked to wait until the start/mid of May to get a better deal by Sunnyvale Nissan!! Can wait a week or two to save $1000

I leased a a 2012 SL w/ added leather incredibly cheap last October in San Jose on a closeout. They applied a $2000 Nissan company incentive $ on top of the $7500 federal rebate, and I put $2995 down. So the DOWN on my paperwork appeared as $12,495 down (included 1st payment). My payments are $225 month, with the $395 Dispo fee due at end. Then the state rebated me back $2500 by check. All in all, I will pay a total of $8750 for the 3 year lease! Too bad I can't get another deal like that one.

But I will be shopping for a 2013 SL in San Jose and Sunnyvale starting next month. My daughter needs a car for work after school ends. I will be shopping 4-5 local dealers. I expect to pay $3400 to $3600 a year after rebates, etc.

On a 2 year lease, 12k miles, I am shooting for $1000 down which includes first payment, 23 months @ 245 month for a total of payments of $5635, plus $395 Dispo fee for a total of $7030. If I go 3 years, 12k a year, I am seeking $1000 down (including first payment), 35 months @ 325 month for a total of payments of $11,200, plus $395 Dispo fee, subtracted by the $2500 state rebate for leases of 3 years or longer, for a total of $10,260. These numbers are equal to the best deals I've seen on the base SL so they are my goals to hit.

Oh, the reason for the $1000 down is that when I get into the finance office Nissan told me to pull out my customer loyalty mailer they sent me, give the dealer the vin number on the Leaf I own and that will satisfy the $1000 down! The dealer won't care because its nothing out of their pocket. Nissan Corp pays my $1000 down.

Where in Bay area do we get deals like that ? I have been shopping for a base SL here and no dealer has come close to $3500 / year (7000 for 2 years) . I will appreciate any help on getting this deal. Thanks !

Can you please explain this further?

Sonnylax, you are referring to the $1000 down? I received a letter from Nissan giving me $1000 toward the purchase or lease of any 2013 Nissan. It was mailed to all previous Nissan Leaf owners (I leased one in 2012). I called Nissan and they said to make your best deal and apply it to your down when you do the paperwork. I like that because I obviously never want to tell the dealer in advance. They have a way of trying to get a piece of it!
